The ability to enter any type of Future Orders as verbal and telephone must be added. The fact that unsigned future orders can be released, but once released there is no way for the provider to electronically sign it is unacceptable. This is a huge liability! If the future order is entered as a written order and released prior to the provider signing it then legally a written order should be scanned to the account. That is very difficult to track.
The label "Written" is disingenuous as it implies there is an actual physical written order scanned into the chart as opposed to an electronically entered and signed order. Otherwise the provider would need to duplicate the order and dx exactly in the patient's chart note and that's inefficient. I agree with the need for Verbal/Telephone order and the ability for provider to edit/sign so that the order isn't finalized without their cosign.
